Islamorada also offers an 18-mile bicycle path that extends the length of the Village.

Scuba/Snorkel! : Islamorada, long recognized as the 'Sport Fishing Capital of the World,' is now an icon among sport divers for a similar reason: a massive population of tropical marine life. High profile coral heads and broad ledges shelter huge congregates of French grunt and goat fish, while regal queen angelfish casually graze amid the reef recesses. Friendly green moray eels swim freely along the spur-and-groove channels, and reclusive nurse sharks lurk beneath the overhangs. Islamorada offers a wide variety of shallow coral reefs, mini walls, shipwrecks, and even an underwater habitat for scientific research, the Aquarius. To learn more about Islamorada or any other manner of local lore, stop by the Chamber of Commerce at MM 82.5.

*The Eagle - This 287 ft ship was intentionally sunk in 110 ft of water as a dive attraction, cloaked in sponge & coral, populated by grunt, harpoon & jack. *Davis Reef - Reef revered for its incredible concentration of grunts & schoolmaster snapper, as well as several amiable resident green morays, long accustomed to benign interaction with the dive masters. *Alligator Reef - Now marked by a 136-ft-tall lighthouse, on this spot in 1822 the USS Alligator grounded & sank while protecting a convoy from pirates; remains of the wreck are the twin piles of ballast stones, but the coral reef - in just 25 ft of water - is vibrant and alive. *Conch Wall - Offering a precipitous sloping wall & captivating concentrations of barrel sponge & gorgonia punctuating seafloor. *Crocker Wall - A 450+-foot-long wall in 50 ft of water. The wall has a 30 ft decline and features grunts, yellow tail &grouper with spur-and-groove coral & block coral.

About Scott Ofstein

We love the Keys! We purchased our home back in 2009 and loved it so much we bought a second home right next door (HomeAway #3000700) My wife and I have 2 girls ages 15 and 12 and they also love the Keys. They love boating, fishing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, kayaking, biking and just hanging out at the Keys famous sandbars. Islamorada is an amazing Island and in my opinion the best location in the Florida Keys! You can't go wrong!

Great location on the ocean side of Islamorada!

The house is close to the water so you get the ocean breeze. The available dock is very close to the house so easy to load diving equipment and fishing gear. The house is clean and has a good flow. The showers are strong.

The front deck is perfect to sit and read in the shade after spending the day on the ocean

The back deck has ocean view and perfect for a glass of wine before diner.

Repeat customer

This was our family's second trip to this house and we loved it as much as the first visit. We love the location, the quiet, and the convenient basin to keep our boat so that we can effortlessly come and go to fish the waters of Florida Bay. We can fish early in the morning and then spend the mid-day heat by the pool or inside and then go out again for some evening fishing. The house is very well appointed and has everything you need. The owner is very attentive and committed to be sure that you stay is everything that you would hope it to be. We will be back next year.

Kajun Keys Getaway

Another fabulous stay in this place! Ideal place to be for so many reasons....safe..clean..beautiful..location and the list goes on! It is definitely thr home away from home! Thank you Scott for sharing your home with my family for the 2nd year in a row. We will be back! Missing it already! Until next time Paradise....

Anglers Way

Well maintained house and grounds. Excellent location - access to restaurants, shopping and low key entertainment. Owner responsive. Rental cost probably precludes us renting on annual basis but definitely would like to do it again someday.

One minor complaint - staff puts out garbage containers day before pickup; during our stay they were not put away until day after when I finally did it myself. This made parts of three days when it was difficult to back car out of carport without hitting a container.

Great home to stay in

We really enjoyed staying in this home and Scott was great to work with. The location is great since we were near several places that will take you out fishing, a lot of great restaurants are nearby and there are numerous local artists in the area. The house had everything that you need in the kitchen plus porches on each level with furniture which was really nice so that we could spend more time outside. There were also nice views of the water. I would definitely recommend renting this house for your next stay in the Keys.

Islamorada is located in the Upper Keys, about halfway between Miami and Key West. Nicknamed the Sport Fishing Capital of the World and known to have the best restaurants in the Keys, there is much to do in, under, above or near the waters surrounding Islamorada. In the water... you can boat, kayak, para sail, jet ski, snorkel, dive or even cruise out to the Alligator Reef Lighthouse or to Barnacle Bobs at the Tiki sandbar for a burger in the middle of the ocean. You can also swim with dolphins, sea lions and sea rays at Theater of the Sea (less than a mile south). Or if you have had enough water, check out the local parks, pampering spas, exclusive shops and a large array of amazing restaurants. Be sure to catch a sunset from the many restaurants or bars along the gulf side. And if it's a full moon, adults may want to head over to Morada Bay & Pierre's for their famous Full Moon Parties, beach parties with bonfires in the sand, specialty drinks and live entertainment (covers apply).
